Crying Uncle: IBMA World of Bluegrass
This project was a 4 camera shoot and live audio recording of the Crying Uncle prerecorded set for the IBMA 2020 World of Bluegrass. It was filmed on the hottest day of the year in 2020 and it was a challenge to keep everything from overheating, including the equipment, instruments and kids! Miles, Teo and their family have been long-time friends and we had their father Christopher on one camera, and my son Julian on the other - truly a family affair! The band did this set in one take and we used the wide shot to send to the festival. Look out for future edits of a couple of the songs and an EP early 2021.
It’s also fun to get in a few photos when we have a chance.
